The North West - Liverpool

Lesson: Geography

Class: Y4 Year: 2018 - 2019

At the beginning of this term Y4 went to the Museum of Liverpool to discover how Liverpool became one of the world’s great ports and how this shaped the city of today.  Pupils explored the trade goods wall to identify examples of imports and exports to and from Liverpool.

An important part of the trip involved exploring the significance of the River Mersey to Liverpool and the city’s geographic location.  The growth of Liverpool’s docks was explored as a whole class timeline activity.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and were intrigued to find out just how important the North-West is and was to the rest of the world.
